About My Clients
Many of my clients are neurodivergent, queer or trans, living with chronic illness, navigating developmental or complex trauma, or trying to build relationships that work differently from what they were taught to expect. You may understand yourself intellectually but still find old patterns taking over when you're overwhelmed, hurt, or disconnected. I work with adults, teens, families, couples, polycules, and other relationship structures.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Professional Clinical Counselor with an MA in Integral Counseling Psychology. My work is relational, trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and deeply contextual. I show up as a real person in the room—expressive, engaged, curious, and direct, always grounded in care. Rather than looking at a symptom or behavior in isolation, I want to understand how it came to make sense: What has this pattern protected? What has your nervous system learned? What relationships and experiences shaped it? Therapy with me is active and collaborative. We might map a relationship pattern, notice what’s happening in your body, explore protective responses, build concrete regulation or communication skills, challenge an old story, or slow something down enough to experience it differently. I draw flexibly from relational, attachment-based, experiential, somatic/nervous system, parts-based, EFT-informed, and DBT-informed approaches.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m white, queer, non-binary, neurodivergent (AuDHD), and of European ancestry. My values are rooted in curiosity, authenticity, humility, reciprocity, compassion, accountability, and collective liberation. I don’t believe our struggles can be understood separately from the relationships, communities, cultures, environments, and systems that shape us. White supremacy culture, capitalism, ableism, cisheteronormativity, mononormativity, colonialism, and spiritual or religious harm influence whose needs are accommodated, what we learn to suppress to belong, and what we come to believe about ourselves and each other. For me, healing can hold multiple truths at once: understanding why something developed without pretending it isn’t causing harm; accepting ourselves without giving up our capacity for change; and building individual agency while recognizing that not everything we struggle with is an individual problem.
